Growth Factor therapy represents a cutting-edge technology utilized in the treatment of Alopecia (Baldness), which can result from conditions such as male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss, and hair loss linked to various disorders.
What is Growth Factor Therapy
Growth Factor Therapy is a relatively advanced technological approach to stimulate hair regrowth. It encompasses the extraction of growth factors from plant-based enzymes, which are then injected into the scalp to promote and facilitate hair growth.
How does it work?
Enhancing the vitality of human epidermal stem cells is currently at the forefront of biotechnological research. Ongoing laboratory experiments conducted in vitro reveal that active phyto (derived from plants) compounds can trigger the growth of human mesenchymal cells and offer protection against damage caused by free radicals.
The Science Behind Growth Factor Therapy
Plants continually adapt and grow in various ways, unlike humans, whose growth can be easily hindered. Consequently, the growth factors found in plants maintain their potency over an extended period.
When these beneficial growth factors are injected into the human scalp, they supply the necessary nutrients for hair regrowth. The procedure typically involves initial scalp cleansing, followed by the application of the growth factor solution. Subsequently, a device known as a dermaroller is used to enhance the penetration of the growth factor solution. The entire treatment process typically lasts around 15-20 minutes.
How long does it take to see the results?
The Growth Factor therapy typically stimulates new hair growth within 3 to 4 weeks after commencing treatment*. By the time you've completed six to eight treatment sessions*, you can anticipate a 30 to 40% increase in hair density*. On average, it necessitates six sessions, administered once a week to every 10 days*, alongside the provision of supplements*.

An ideal candidate for Growth Factor Therapy is someone who has encountered hair loss for a period not exceeding 5 years and possesses a bald area measuring no more than 3 inches in size.
